Navigating finances can feel overwhelming, especially with mixed messages in the media about millennials’ ability to build wealth. A 2020 Bank of America study revealed that 75% of millennials feel uncertain about their financial future, with many worried about saving enough.
Sound familiar??
Here are five actionable tips to help you take control of your finances:?
1. Start Today
The earlier you begin, the more you benefit from the magic of compound interest. Even small investments grow significantly over time. For example:?
- Saving $1,500/month from age 30 at an 8% return can grow to $3.4 million by retirement.?
- Waiting just five years could reduce your retirement income by nearly a third.?
The takeaway? Don’t wait!?
2. Create a Plan
A clear financial plan is essential. Ask yourself:?
- What are your savings goals??
- How much do you need to reach them??
- Should you prioritise paying off debt or investing??
A financial planner can help you set realistic goals and develop a roadmap to achieve them.?
